Well of course they have Mr Carrow. That's what being a fan is all about. Nobody wants accept mediocrity for their team and we all think we know best. But that's the beauty of being a fan, we can hold opinions and change our minds willy nilly with no effect on the team or the club. Those people you quote as changing their minds can always change it back again if we have a better season. To save face they could say that "the board wouldn't have signed anyone if it wasn't for Cullum so we can thank him." Or " If it wasn't for the pressure from Mr Carrow and others we would have gone with what we had"  It's really only proactive fence sitting.   Big Up to DIXMAR RACING who sponsor the Pink 'n Posters Picks!

My posts on this thread have been regarding two specific points: your "Delia has not said or hinted she would give her shares away"- she has, and Blahx3 "I`ve learned that you can`t change peoples minds" and i pointed out that plenty of people have changed their minds about the board in recent years.  If people want me to stop posting, don`t post cobblers. Mr. Carrow....almost certainly this forums' best mind. Certainly less caustic than some of us, but very rarely far off the mark. But for Peter Cullum entering the fray...very little of this frantic (and painfully obvious) "I'll show you" nonsense would have occured at CR. It's shallow and petulent and typical of the small time Charlies who are currently running this club. Like last year it will all unravell as time goes by...and sadly there will again be thousands of "supporters" dangling on Smith's little string. No Huckerby or Dublin to inspire this time....and for those who thought Roeder was the "one" who dug us out of the mire last season (by 3 points)...you really are misguided. Dion Dublin did it...and he will no doubt go on to become the sort of manger this club actually needs. More of the same to come this year...more of the same spin....and more of the same misguided false promise. It's sad to witness...but that Boudicca spirit is well and truly dead in these parts...or has been watered down by those who want to wear the uniform but are not really dedicated to the cause.      Report

Nigel's point is that no one rated him as a signing when Worthy brought him in. The question is whether the team is stronger now than August 2007. The answer is a resounding yes.    Report

And people were saying exactly the same thing in August 2007......I remember a certain regular sparring partner on here assuring me that Brellier would be the star of our season.  Our signings vary from decent to pretty much unknown, but just check out who played centre-back in the last friendly and imagine the same scenario against Coventry.  At least one more defender and a top striker and i think we can go into the season with a bit of confidence- but for posters to label our signings as "class" before they`ve played a competetive match for us is laughable.    Report

I totally agree Blah.  But BDU telling us that the manager has signed "class players" sounds more than a little like your assertion that Brellier would be our star player last season doesn`t it?  We don`t know. If you are accusing me of saying the team is doomed you couldn`t be more wrong- read my earlier posts.  In fact i haven`t read any posts saying that, but if you can point them out......?    Report
